It is a Butterick Pattern. They showed a plain blue tent with ribbons for a boy and there was an adorable one for girls in pink with sheer panels in the front and lfringed beads over the door. I decided that I wanted a more "Native American" looking tent for my grandsons....so I did all the embroidered designs and used more natural colors.

WOW...thank you everyone for the compliments. The boys havent received it yet. We are hoping for some clean weather next week and we will take it to Colombus OH where they live. I hope they like it. No one asked for it.

Story behind it is (I have always been fascinated with the Native American culture and admire them)....when Joann's has their patterns on sale for 99 cents, I go through the books and buy anything I even think I would like to make at some point. So I was looking through the pattern book and saw the teepee and sleeping rolls and thought maybe the boys would enjoy them for Christmas.
